NEW! INDUSTRY COUNCIL: Industry Interim Council

We must now setup an Industry Interim Council for three reasons:

1. To help manage Stage 2 of the in-depth Research study - contributing to the national strategy document. 2. Establish the framework for a single representative body for UK Gospel :The GMIA (Gospel Music Industry Alliance)3. Shortlisting and interviewing candidates for three new advertised posts:

GS09 Workshop/Panel SessionsLeading professional in the industry and guest participants discuss the issues.

The SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS will form part of the national strategy developmentHARDTALK: Finding solutions through honest discussion. Note: Room will be given for other questionsArtists & Promoters: UK Gospel acts and promoters struggle to attract consistent large audiences in their own name. Why is this? Who is to blame - the artist or promoter?Is it the standard of artist performance or the standard of promoters ability?Industry: How can we connect existing or create new platforms for effective marketing, distribution and sale of UK Gospel products?Industry & The Churches: Is it time the Gospel industry sought formal support from Church leaders? Is this the way?Industry & Media: The OCC (Official Chart Company) reports that a Gospel/Christian Chart probably still some way off. Should Gospel/Christian Radio & TV unite to create 'our official charts' now?REMEMBER: Other questions you might can be raised as we gather together in this progressive way.Gospel Summit '09 Registration Details:
